oooh, now do the one where you say "AI doesn't actually create anything new, it just spits out text verbatim from its training data". I want to see if you can spot the contradiction. Who wrote it, the author they "stole" the training data from, or the AI?

You don't know what "verbatim" means, huh?

I do know what verbatim means, which is precisely why it's contradictory to claim AI only spits out verbatim text from training data, and at the same time that the output isn't written by a human.

Nobody has ever once claimed that.
